Middletown Truck Safety Check Failure Lawyers
Truck Accident Legal Help in Connecticut Since 1978
Many auto accidents are caused by general human failure and simple driving errors. Often, though, truck accidents are caused when trucking companies and truck drivers negligently fail to follow federal truck maintenance standards and fail to take reasonable care to ensure that trucks are safe. When preventable truck accidents and injuries occur due to gross negligence and the failure to maintain trucks, it's important to hold parties accountable and to pursue available compensation.
At the New Haven, Connecticut, personal injury law firm of Gillis Law Firm we have handled truck accident claims for more than three decades. We have recovered significant settlement and jury awards following the failure to:
- Check brakes and tires
- Prevent the overloading of trucks
- Secure loads
- Ensure that blinkers, lights and other truck features work properly
Failure to ensure that trucks are loaded and maintained properly can quickly lead to dangerous conditions on the road and preventable "accidents". We have handled cases in which the driver drove a truck relying solely on trailer brakes, and cases involving trailers that were overloaded to reduce costs and save money. We have also handled cases following hastily secured loads, resulting deadly highly spills. Poor maintenance is often compounded by speeding which can stress tires and brakes and destabilize loads.
